Pocket parks are one way to provide recreation or open space needs distinctive from other types of park needs such as regional, community or neighborhood parks. Primarily aimed at offering a small open-space/recreational venue of a more passive or intimate nature, servicing local REPUBLICA residents rather than across the city (a N citizens ST role played by larger park types). Pocket parks may be considered as an alternative to or replacement of a neighborhood park where providing a typical neighborhood park is impractical or not achievable.

Formosa Pocket Park in West Hollywood is a 4,000 square foot park that was created for citizens of a nearby mixed-use development. Containing a variety of plant types, a water fountain and seating areas, the park was designed out of a desire for more public gathering spaces, and to be a recreational haven from the bustle of surrounding streets

The proposed pocket park site serves an unmet need for green space within the Pike-Pine District of Capitol Hill. Tucked in between several Y residential buildings, the proposed pocket wouldWA also provide a respite from the highly impervious IVE OL surfaces that characterize the area. Although during the summer there is adequate canopy cover from the street trees, during the winter, there is a feeling of starkness when the trees have shed their leaves. By taking the place of a parking lot, the proposed ST E pocket park will satisfy the open space and PIN recreation needs of neighborhood residents within the surrounding blocks who may not be able to enjoy other park spaces slightly further from the proposed site. The site is also favorably situated in terms of access by bicycle or bus, allowing residents to take a moment in their daily routine to enjoy a short break. T

Joming Lau is an urban planner and designer with a keen interest in the nexus of planning, urban design and sustainability. He is a graduate of the Master of Urban Planning program at the University of Washington with a Certificate in Urban Design, and has a BSc in Environmental Sciences, and is a LEED AP. Joming brings his professional experience in project management, sustainability indicators, and research and combines it with his exceptional technical skills in Adobe Creative Suite, ArcGIS, and Microsoft Office. First interested in the concept of sustainable communities after a visit in 2003 to Durika, a ecovillage and biological reserve in Costa Rica, where he stayed at a community that truly walked the talk of sustainability, he was inspired how its principles could be replicated elsewhere. This led to an interest in sustainability in regards to the built environment. In recognizing the large impacts that cities have on our natural environment, he became interested in how cities and urbanized spaces are planned, and how they can have a positive impact on the world.
Created 1,500 linear feet of marine habitat showing marine development in 3 years comparable to a typical site of 8-10 years
Since the installation of the habitat skirt 3 years ago, monitoring of the habitat skirt and surrounding marine habitat has been done annually to fulfill Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) requirements for Fisheries Act Authorization. Monitoring by EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. includes biannually conducting an inventory and assessment of the dominant intertidal and sub-tidal biota, and comparing biota diversity/productivity with a known and accepted reference site (Marathon) adjacent to the project. Installed 8-10 years ago as new marine habitat, the Marathon reference site was determined by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to have achieved an acceptable marine habitat condition. In the most recent inventory and assessment conducted in March 2011 by EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd., no significant difference was observed between the Marathon reference site (8-10 years of marine development), and the habitat skirt (3 years of marine development), in terms of species richness and diversity. As well, 43 species were found on the habitat skirt, compared with 46 species at the reference site, and schools of 500 or greater of the following salmonids: Chum, Coho, and possibly Chinook were observed at the habitat skirt.1 Reduced Stormwater Runoff by 13% or 1.29 million gallons

Capitol Hill Pocket Park Siting Project

University of Washington Digital Design Practicum May 2011 This project sought to address the unmet need for green space within the Pike/Pine District of Capitol Hill by identifying potential sites for pocket parks. The goal of this project was to provide small spaces that would allow for a space that would allow for contemplation while also facilitating the occurrence of meaningful interactions. This project also provided an opportunity to develop expertise in integrating various software programs (including ArcGIS, Photoshop, Indesign, and Sketchup) into their workflow. My role on this project included developing a methodology and criteria for the site selection process, management of parcel data with ArcGIS and Excel, demographic analysis to support the site selection methodology, and developing 3D visualizations (using Sketchup) of the neighborhood surrounding the proposed pocket park site.

Demographic Comparison
Compared with the rest of the City of Seattle, the median age of residents living in Capitol Hill are relatively young, and homogenous in terms of its age distribution, with much of the neighborhood in the 29-35.3 age range. A similar median age is observed in the central portion of Seattle (U-District, Belltown, Wallingford, etc..), while older populations are situated to the south, and along the shorelines.

Population Density
Compared with the rest of the City of Seattle, the population density of Capitol Hill is much higher, with population densities of 73-151 near the intersection of E Olive Way and Summit Ave. There are a variety of densities throughout Capitol Hill, showing a variety of housing types, with greater variation than the rest of Seattle. With such a high level of density, Capitol Hill would benefit greatly from a pocket park that would allow for resident populations to have some access to green space.

Compared with the rest of the City of Seattle, the household income of residents living in Capitol Hill appears to be relatively low (as is the rest of Downtown Seattle), with more wealthy populations living to the north and connecting to Montlake to the north. One note of caution is that this income data is almost 10 years old, and this maps do not appear to reflect the shift in income that has happened in Capitol Hill. In terms of what this means for the value of parcel parks, lower income households often have less access to private green spaces such as backyards as well as larger spaces such as neighborhood parks, and pocket parks could serve as an effective remedy to this issue.

Mobility Plan
Lower Lonsdale West Waterfront Project

Simon Fraser University Urban Design Certificate Program January 2010 This illustrated site plan and the accompanying neighborhood diagrams and plans were part of a storyboard created as part of an assignment for a course on visual communication. The work here builds upon an existing urban design plan by adding several additional elements, including non-motorized mobility connections, programmatic open space along the pier and commercial corridors that warrant streetscape animation. The illustrated site plan also highlights the key aspects of the plan, including mobility, open space and attractions, as well as how the proposed design might incorporate the sites maritime heritage into its design as a way to provide it with character and a sense of place. My role on this project included generation of all plans and diagrams, which were first hand-drawn, and then finished using digital enhancements for specific text labels and spot vvcolor.

improvements to mechanical systems (heating, ventilation and cooling, or HVAC) and the building envelope, addition of renewable energy, and attention to tenant behavior. The ground-source heat exchange system has eliminated the need for on-site fossil fuel consumption entirely. HVAC Ground-source heat exchange wells are buried beneath the north parking lot, consisting of 30 heat pumps serving the Main School and Cottage School, with a 27 ton cooling load and no back each) are available for backup heating. Ventilation incorporates two original central chimneys and Lighting/Daylighting There was a strong effort to open up the building to harvest daylight as much as possible. The lighting design called for 0.9 W/sf overall. Several strategies were pursued to achieve this. The Building Envelope R-40 insulation was added to the unoccupied attic. All but two windows are completely restored The tenant space that remained occupied during rehabilitation will have windows restored in a later phase. The non-historic exterior doors were replaced with new, historically appropriate doors, the original hardware and closers reused, and all exterior trim painted. In this phase of the project, masonry repairs were limited, with both buildings set to be repointed in 2013. Controls lighting except the egress path and stairway areas is set to a default off mode.

Deep Energy Retrofit Case Studies

Preservation Green Lab/National Trust for Historic Preservation December 2012 In furthering the discussion about high-performance historic buildings, the Preservation Green Lab set out to create a toolkit that would allow for the collection and distribution of case studies highlighting projects across five building types (singlefamily, multi-family, adaptive use, main street and public). These case studies weave together a narrative about the buildings history, impact, and sustainable features. Through a discussion about the lessons learned from the retrofit project, these case studies seek to demonstrate the effectiveness of deep energy retrofits in historic buildings. My work on this project included the integration of technology (web and online surveys) and content collected through surveys and correspondence with building owners. Building performance data was gathered by working with building owners, and then entered into ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. I also developed the web and InDesign templates to facilitate future case study development, and created a manual to walk through how to do so.

Overview
Emerson School is a Denver landmark owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) and is the oldest surviving example of a school designed by architect Robert Roeschlaub, who was known nationally for his school plans. Notable architectural features include large central tall windows and all original wood wainscoting and wood interior lobby doors. Some classrooms a sundial on a Colorado building and a prominent hipped roof, pierced by two brick chimneys that provided passive ventilation for the classrooms.
The 20,000-sq-ft school underwent a comprehensive, $3.2-million green overhaul that included installation of a geothermal heating and cooling system, and the restoration of over 200 original window sashes. The energy saving measures are targeting energy consumption

Building History
Barriers and Solutions A major challenge in this project involved working around one tenant who stayed in the building during construction. That space was not rehabilitated. Additionally, during demolition, two structural columns were exposed within a 1980s partition wall. The columns were kept in the existing location, in the middle of the main lobby, and reconditioned. The owner says the black steel columns actually look like they belong there. Financing NTHP received the building as a donation, raised $1.7 million toward rehabilitation costs, and cover debt service plus operating costs. Design Process The design process for the project was constantly under budget pressure as the project team worked on both fundraising and a leasing pro-forma during the design phase. The considerable time spent evaluating design and tenant scenarios allowed the project to reach completion and occupancy goals on-time and on-budget. The owner deliberated whether to pursue LEED an energy model, in part because it is required for LEED, but the results of the model were not strategies, including enhanced commissioning. Building Technologies long-term ownership plans. The previously blocked off historic ventilation chimneys were also lights (CFLs) and a strong emphasis on daylighting. The owner plans to install photovoltaic (PV) historic character. Site Improvements The entire property has been re-landscaped as an urban garden, with new lighting, fencing, street trees, shrubs and benches. This work has greatly improved the pedestrian experience of the surrounding block and is helping to re-knit damaged urban fabric in the area. Ten surface parking spaces were removed from the south side of building. A new B-Cycle bike share station will provide a transportation alternative for building tenants, visitors and neighbors.

The buildings in these commercial nodes are largely single story, though there are some newer two and three story buildings (refer to Exhibits 5). The upper levels of the newer buildings contain apartments or condominiums. The neighborhood around the site is predominantly single-family houses and occasional multi-family buildings. Northgate Mall is located about 1 mile to the west of the site.

Wedgwood Feasibility Study

University of Washington Department of Urban Design & Planning December 2010 This feasibility study was conducted for a property in the Wedgwood neighborhood of Seattle, for a hypothetical client. As part of a five member team, using the financial and timing requirements as a framework, several development scenarios were developed based on neighborhood, submarket and trade area and zoning analysis. These scenarios would provide a framework to guide future development of the site. Based on our analysis, a mixed use development with 2 floors of residential apartments would be the optimal use option, although the final recommendation was that given market conditions in the neighborhood, an alternate location would be the most appropriate action at the time. My role on this project included zoning, neighborhood and demographic analysis, market area delineation. I also played secondary roles verifying financial calculations and report writing.

This area stretches from a few blocks west of the Lake Washington as the eastern boundary, Lake City Way on the west, Meadowbrook Park on the north, and NE 65th St. on the south. The largest scale of data incorporated in the I-5 SITE analysis is King County as a whole, to show how the two smaller areas compare to the larger region.
UNIVERSITY Neighborhood Analysis and Demographics DISTRICT
Population and Demographic Information The population of the immediate project area in 2010 was 4,995 (in 2,057 households), while the larger Wedgewood neighborhood stood at 15,020 (in 6,441 households). At the largest market area described in the previous secion the population isnt very dense. Currently, the population density is DOWNTOWN almost 3,000 people/square mile (about 4.5 people per acre). The majority of the SEATTLE area is single-family residential homes with several commercial nodes spread across the area. The area has seen steady growth since the year 2000 and is expected to see continued growth through the year 2015. I-5 With a median age in the area of 43 years, residents here are generally older than in King County, where the median age is 37.8 year. Exhibit 8 shows the populations broken down into cohort segments. Exhibit 15 indicates that the population in Wedgewood is predominately white, and more highlyeducated (See Exhibit 9) than the rest of King County. Over 2/3 of Wedgewood residents have a bachelors degree or higher as compared with 44% in King County (see Exhibit 10). Ethnic composition is quite similar to the rest of King County, except for a lower percentage of AfricanAmericans in Wedgewood.

The following section includes graphic representation of ve alternative use options Team 7 feels are worth investigating. In each case, it has been assumed that the area of the site zoned SF-7200 would be left undeveloped, for reasons explained in this document under static attributes(?). As is the case in most new development projects, a main driver of each of these alternatives is the location of on-site parking. The sites small size and 3-story height limit will result in a small development that could not possibly generate enough income to justify the cost of locating parking below grade. For this reason, the four new-development alternatives described here have parking located in a surface parking lot. In each of the four new-development alternatives, the building is located at the street edge, with parking behind. This is essentially required by zoning regulations, but has the benet of locating commercial space close to the streets, for high visibility. The ve development options considered are: Leave the existing building as-is Financial feasibility five development scenarios Develop a 1-story commercial building of (8,800 SF) Develop a 3-story mixed use building with ground level commercial and residential above (17,943 SF) Develop a 3-story mixed use building with ground level commercial and ofce above (17,943 SF) Develop a 3-story building with ground level commercial and ofce above (21,345 SF)

Woodinville Residential Cluster Plan

University of Washington Department of Urban Design & Planning March 2011 The objective of this project was to reimagine the southern end of Woodinville, WA adjacent to the Tourist District. Given a scenario of explosive population growth in the Puget Sound region and the designation of the site as an important urban node, this site was redesigned keeping in mind the accommodation of neighborhood amenities and transit connections. Also included was the addition of office and retail space, while meeting minimum parking requirements, and improving the sites ecological function through management of all stormwater onsite, and replacement of the existing lowdensity townhouses in the floodplain of the Sammamish River with riparian habitat.

This project explored design and rendering methods using 3D modeling software. Two different approaches were used in developing Sketchup building models for each of the two buildings. For the building at 619 E Pine St., building components and materials were applied to the surfaces of the building in order to create a model that approximated the original building. The building model at 501 E Pine St took another approach, using the Photo Match function to apply textures onto the building faces. These textures were derived from actual photos taken during site visits. All element of this project were developed on my own, except for several building components (including doors and windows) which were publicly available on Google 3D Warehouse.

Survey of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings (URMs) in the Admiral Neighborhood

University of Washington Digital Design Practicum June 2011 This final project of the Digital Design Practicum course developed a methodology for creating an inventory of URM buildings in Seattle neighborhoods. Because no municipal record of URM buildings exist, this required a combination of examining assessors parcel data. Working in groups of two, these results were cross-referenced against multiple lists of historic landmarks, and finally verified through site visits and photo documentation. The end product was an inventory of URM buildings for the Admiral neighborhood, ranked by priority for seismic retrofits, and shown graphically through maps and a Sketchup model of the neighborhood. My primary role for this project included Sketchup modeling, conducting background historical research, site visits, managing large quantities of assessors data and creation of maps.

One month was spent at Tianzhong village in Fujian province, a region renowned for its tulou, a vernacular communal residence, developing precedent studies and conducting background research through site visits and interviews with residents and local officials. Three teams, working at regional, village and building scales explored design concepts grounded on our research. This included SWOT analysis of development opportunities that explored economic development strategies organic farming, tea cooperatives and cultural and eco-tourism. My role on this project included co-developing a full development concept for 120 dwelling units, and provided retail, restaurant, hotel space while retaining portions of the site for existing agricultural use. Other major tasks included GIS and GPS mapping, providing project management support for the larger team, coordination between regional and village scale teams, as well as 3D representation of design concepts in Google Sketchup.

Tourism Planning and Village Title Mapping in Jiaju Village Date

University of Washington and Sichuan University ADD PROJ DESCRIPTION August 2011 ADD SKILLS As partROLES of a 25 member group that ADD went to China for a summer field study program, I was part of a three person team that developed a methodology to map and inventory buildings, paths, and other infrastructure in Jiaju, a rural village in the Sichuan Province of China. During our time there, we examined the villages three clusters, to better understand its characteristics, and evaluate its tourism capacity. Accessibility, and the quality of building, road and water infrastructure was used as criteria. Information about each cluster was gathered through a combination of detailed notes, GPS data, and interviews with local villagers. My role on this project included developing mapping methodology, producing GIS maps and Google Earth imagery, and conducting field data collection on village infrastructure through interviews, direct observation and photographic surveys.

Additions are constructed as the family expands and with guest houses. Most of the clusters are related through blood or marriage, and will rebuild in the same area, outside the landslide area, to stay near their family.

Jiaju Village is divided into three parts: Jiaju 1, Jiaju 2, and Jiaju 3. We chose to study a cluster of five to seven households in each section of the village. We chose households based on their general proximity to each other, shared space and paths, and the presence of guest houses. Each cluster has its own character, which has been influenced by vehicular and pedestrian accessibility, slope of the site, where on the overall slope it is, vegetation, and the governmental designation as a mass tourist destination (resulting in more government investment into the cluster) or a deep tourism destination. Deep tourist locations are those that are not easily accessible by car or bus and do not

University of Washington, Van Alen Institute, and the National Park Service March 2012 The Van Alen Institute in partnership with the National Park Service held a design competition to reimagine Americas national parks. I was part of a collaborative team of 21 students including planners, architects, landscape architects, ecologists and museologist at the University of Washington in a quarter-long studio. We worked with staff from San Juan Island National Historical Park to find ways to provide improved accessibility and interpretive opportunities for park visitors and local residents. Further refinement of studio outcomes were used in the design submission, where the University of Washington placed as one of six finalist teams. One important element of the project included a digital strategy that looked at new ways of engaging park visitors in the historical and ecological narratives of the park, by bringing the concept of the park visitor center into the landscape itself through digital technology. My role on this project included developing the digital strategy with five other teammates, preparing mockups, presentation and display boards (using Photoshop, Indesign, Powerpoint and Prezi), providing GIS and GPS mapping, project management, and conducting field research.

Title
Landscape Performance Series - Case Study Briefs

Landscape Architecture Foundation and University of Washington December 2011 The Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) partnered with the University of Washingtons Sustainable Urban Landscapes class to develop a set of case study briefs featuring sustainable projects with quantified landscape benefits. Working closely with LAF staff, professional designers and other members of the project team, a set of robustly researched case studies was developed, documenting the measurable benefits of exemplary high performance landscapes that deliver ecological, social and economic benefit. My role for this project included the developing a case study that quantified the benefits of the Vancouver Convention Center Expansion Project. In correspondence with the design team, a methodology was developed that quantified marine habitat creation, and reductions in stormwater runoff, on-site irrigation, heat gain and heat loss. A narrative describing the project was also synthesized, and additional imagery collected that would highlight the project.

Simon Fraser University Urban Design Certificate Program and TechniCity Coursera (online course) Various Dates On the left are several examples of street cross sections that were initially created as products for visualizing streetscapes, and the allocation of streetsfcape elements. On the right, digital representations of the same street cross sections were developed using streetmix, a web-based tool created by Code for America that allows for easy creation of street cross sections. These street sections on the right were part of an exploration of new and innovative tools that were presented through TechniCity, a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) that looked at how technology is used to engage with the public for supporting decisonmaking, and tools that can be used for analyzing the city.

Enlisted by PSRCs Regional Food Policy Council, the University of Washington studio team identified and pursued research topic areas examining the regional food system. These research areas would inform the development of early action items on the Councils work plan. Products included an initial conditions report for the food system in the central Puget Sound region, as well as a set of reports that focused on six specific topics addressing emerging issues in the food system. My role on this project included developing, with three other students, a chapter about food hubs. In particular, I co-developed a case study on the Everett Farmers market, to derive lessons to inform future regional food hub efforts. I also assisted with report layout, GIS mapping and led the development of the studio website. This report is also listed as a resource on a section on food hubs on the USDA website.
